Honestly, I pay only some attention to these rather marginal characters. I get Kirk and Steven Crowder and Fuentes and Matt Walsh and Ben Shapiro and Jordan Peterson mixed up sometimes. But at least in my head, I put them under this "debate me bro" category.
From what I've seen of their "debates", they are run nothing like an actual debate should be, and the scam seems to be that if someone declines to "debate" them, the person would be seen in the minds of idiots that they "forfeited". Because the debate-me bro's debate-fu is so very strong. 🙄
If they do agree, it's only elevating and platforming these marginal characters that feed on being "edgy". And I really don't think there is any winning of these "debates" because they are not done in good faith. Again, from the few times I've dipped into this kind of thing.
